            Bug ID: 40098
           Summary: WSALookupServiceBegin return value is causing Steam,
                    other applications to exit
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: winsock
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: roman at hargrave.info
      Distribution: ---

WSALookupServiceBegin (and possibly other, related functions) return
SOCKET_ERROR. A recent Steam update has brought this issue to my attention. It
would appear that Valve have either added functionality to steam that requires
WSALookupServiceBegin to function correctly, or, have made Steam exit when
WSALookupServiceBegin returns an error.

Having researched this, I have found other issues and forum posts around the
internet, some related to steam and dating back quite some time (2013 was the
earliest post I saw about this and steam). Non of these appeared to cite
failure due to this issue.

I will also submit this to the steam issue tracker, but I am posting this here
as this issue could be the responsibility of either party as far as I am
concerned.
